The Shiny Red Apple

In a bright, colorful world, there was a single, shiny red apple hanging from a tree. It swayed gently in the breeze, calling out to all the little creatures around.

“Come and take a bite!” said the apple.

A curious little worm wiggled up and said, “I’m just one, but I’m brave!” The apple smiled, knowing that being single can be special too.

Just like the worm, sometimes being one means you can shine bright and be the star of your own story!

Remember!

Every single thing can be wonderful in its own way!
